Design a Brain Experiment Contest
September 5, 2012

The Dana Foundation is sponsoring a "Design a Brain Experiment Contest" for high school students in the United States. The challenge is to design an original brain-related experiment. You do not actually do the experiment. Rather you write up a research proposal as if you were going to do the experiment.

Use your knowledge about the brain and the scientific method of inquiry to create a strong proposal. Be creative with your project!

Each teacher, school official or afterschool program coordinator can submit up to 5 experiments. The winning experiment will receive a $500 prize and the second place project will receive $250. The deadline for the competition is January 17, 2013, and the winner will be announced during Brain Awareness Week in March, 2013.
